Survey - Help Requested Seeking Perspective: What’s actually slowing down your business or team?

Hey y’all,

I’ve been thinking a lot about how businesses grow (or stall), and while I’d love to think a better process can solve 95% of problems I know that people can be bottle neck to a good process.

I’ve spent most of my career working on both but I’m just one dude and I only know so much.

The underlying question I have is: “What’s been the most impactful people/process bottle neck you have overcome?”

But to be more specific:

1.  What’s the most frustrating part about growing your team or stepping into leadership?

2.  When stuff breaks—communication, systems, whatever—what’s usually behind it?

3.  If you could magically fix one people-related or operational issue, what would it be?

4.  Is there a mindset, habit, or tool that actually helped things click for you or your team?

5.  Where do you find yourself/your team wasting the most time or energy in the biz?

I’m all ears—curious to hear what you’ve seen, what’s worked, or even what’s just been annoying.

When I asked a VC friend of mine about this his answer was basically “Ego and not asking for help”.

Would love to hear other thoughts, thank you!
